Trauma: Healing the Mind (Emotions)

Picture

Traumatic experiences can result in overwhelming cascades of emotions that run a wide spectrum.
​We will address some of those here.

Some Resources for Emotional Support

🎧​ ​Working with Intense Emotions + Triggers
🎧 Deactivating Negative, Repetitive Thoughts
🎧 Feeling Depressed?

Traumatic Emotion: Anxiety + Panic

‣‣ After traumatic experiences, you may feel anxious, panicked, hypervigilant, overwhelmed, numb and have flashbacks.

‣‣ A pervasive sense of fear can last a lifetime, trickling into all areas of your life, even becoming part of your identity.
​
‣‣ Learning how to work with this anxiety is a crucial part of your healing

​The Trick to Quieting the Mind

Traumatic Emotion: Depression (Anger)

‣‣ Anxiety and depression ping pong off of one another. We feel overwhelmed and so we shut down. We struggle to function and judge our experience as "wrong," thus isolating ourselves away.

‣‣ Doesn't it make sense that you'd feel depressed if you endured trauma? What parts of you are depressed? How can you support them? What kind of help do you need? Can you NOT label your sadness as a problem and instead learn what it needs to heal?
​
‣‣ The flip side of depression is anger, rage, irritability. Depression needs movement, it needs expression, it needs release. Developing practices and getting the help you need to let these emotions move in you will help you find relief.

Traumatic Emotion: Shame +Feeling Defective

‣‣ Depending on the trauma you've experienced, you may develop feelings of inadequacy and shame. These feelings are painful and can cloud your decisions, focus and ability to experience happiness.

‣‣ I describe healing as the process of coming home to ourselves. This always involves learning how to love, accept and embrace ourselves unconditionally.
